Body Language Reveal: "This stance shows a desire to look cool and relaxed," says Wood. "The crossed feet are a unique cue, typically crossing means shyness or closure, but crossing the feet in a relaxed stance says, 'I am not scared or threatened. The lean to the side also shows an ease and comfort. Subtle cues, like sunglasses, one hand in the pocket, and a bag covering the belly says this girl needs her privacy."
